Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 cups chopped kale washed and dried
  • 2 cups chopped cabbage
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, grated

For the dressing

  • cup fresh lemon juice
  • cup white balsamic vinegar
  • ½ tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the nut brittle

  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts
  • ¼ cup slivered almonds
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
  • ¼ cup sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

  • Combine all of your salad ingredients into a mixing bowl and toss with as much dressing as you like.
    3 cups chopped kale, 2 cups chopped cabbage, 1 green onion, chopped, 1 medium carrot, grated

For the dressing

  • Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a jar or a bowl and shake or whisk until well combined. Store any remaining dressing in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
    ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice, ⅓ cup white balsamic vinegar, ½ tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 cup olive oil, salt and pepper to taste

For the nut brittle

  • Place your nuts and seeds on a non-stick skillet and toast over medium heat until they become fragrant. Stir regularly to prevent burning.
    ¼ cup chopped walnuts, ¼ cup slivered almonds, ¼ cup pumpkin seeds, ¼ cup sesame seeds, 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • Once you can smell the nuts and seeds toasting, pour the maple syrup into the pan and use a rubber spatula to mix everything around. Keep on heat for approximately 1 minute, being careful not to burn the syrup (stir constantly).
  • Transfer the nut mixture to a sheet of parchment paper and spread into a thin layer. Allow to cool completely and then break into pieces. Add to the top of your salad. Any leftover brittle can be kept in a covered container for several days at room temperature.

Notes

Note: The nutritional information is based on using 4 tablespoons of the nut brittle and 1/4 cup of dressing.
